I am in third year of bsc physics.during the first year I started doing a diploma course in data science.i completed in mid of second year. at present I am very much confused what to choose my career opportunity?pls suggest me career opportunities and road map for it.

Hello,

Physics is always a demanding one in the field of Science and has a lot of scope in India and abroad. After B.sc you can prepare for masters or an integrated PhD in India or abroad.

• After B.Sc. degree, students can give the MRNAT / IIT-JAM exam conducted by different institutions. Another exam like the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is also conducted by universities for admission in MTech program.
• If you are willing to go abroad for higher studies then you must clear the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) to get admission in a graduate program abroad.

There are a number of job opportunities available for a B.Sc. Physics graduate. Here are some of the top job profiles:

• Physicist
• Physics Lecturer
• Lab Assistant
• Research Associate
• Subject Matter Expert
• Technician
• Radiologist Assistant
• Academic Counselor
• Content Developer
• Quality Control Manager
• Scientist
• Radiation Oncologist

Job opportunities as a scientist are available in organizations like BARC, ISRO, DRDO, VSSC, SSPL and other many well-established research centres in India as well as abroad.

Data Science is a new field and has been gaining so much demand and popularity since the pandemic. Day to day evolution of technology and the collection of huge amounts of data has led to the increasing demand of data scientists around the globe. The importance of gathering and collecting data is crucial as it enables organizations to determine and thus influence the trends in a particular industry. The opportunities in India and abroad for this field is endless.

Data Science jobs for freshers may include the job of a business analyst, data scientist, statistician or data architect.

Big Data Engineer: Big data engineers develop, maintain, test, and evaluate big data solutions within organizations.

Machine Learning Engineer: Machine learning engineers have to design and implement machine learning applications/algorithms to address business challenges.

Data Engineer/Data Architect: Data engineers/architects develop, construct, test, and maintain highly scalable data management systems.

Data Scientist: Data scientists have to understand the challenges of business and offer the best solutions using data analysis and data processing.

Statistician: Statistician interprets the results, along with strategic recommendations or incisive predictions, using data visualization tools or reports.

Data Analysts: Data analysts are involved in data manipulations and data visualization.

Business Analysts: Business analysts use predictive, prescriptive, and descriptive analyses to transform complex data into easily understood actionable insights for the users.

In conclusion the future of physics and data science is very bright. Every field has its pros and cons but it is up to you, decide what is of your interest and what you can do.

All the best!
